BlondeQT- I've been feeling this way too, about my family. They are all adamant that I should D my H. It's a lot of pressure, especially from my sister, because I think she thinks I'm not respecting myself to let H treat me this way. Between trying to figure out what everyone thinks and feels, it's become pretty hard to hear my own thoughts. H loves to tell me I'm delusional and live in a fantasy world so that doesn't help me feel like I can think clearly. So I rely heavily on family and friends for support and to help me sort things out. They all think I should not have to carry the weight by myself. So, I totally understand where you're coming from on that one...
